| Children and families are being challenged
today as never before by rapid changes in society, technology
and the global economy. The media also constantly reminds
us of the daily risks and dangers facing our kids, such
as school failure, teen pregnancy, stress, suicide, obesity,
drug abuse, crime and violence. Today, a growing number
of concerned parents, teachers and other adults are seeking
the very best strategies available to empower children
and teens to succeed in these challenging times. Researchers
studying highly resilient children and youth have now
identified the protective factors that have been used
to overcome risks and adversity of all kinds. Parents,
teachers and other caring adults can help children and
teens acquire the inner strengths (positive beliefs,
attitudes and self-discipline) and provide the external
supports (strong connections to family, school and community)
needed to thrive in the 21st century.
This exciting workshop will provide you with leading-edge,
research-based tools and strategies to develop resiliency
in children and teens. You will learn the Seven Keys
to Resiliency® - a dynamic new model of human empowerment
that can be used by adults to help themselves and assist
young people to overcome adversity and achieve happiness,
health and success in life. |
